Mohair Bias Loop

Yesterday got away from me before I could get a post done.

I have been working on my fall Rowan order as well as ordering from a new company.  I just hit the 'send' button on an order for Madelinetosh.  There is a good selection of Sock, DK, Vintage and Pashmina in the order.  It will be 8-10 weeks before it arrives-just in time for fall.

I am madly making kits for the Frolic next Saturday.  If you have ever visited the store before a show or knitting camp you will know that I start making piles of everything that is to be packed.  I don't want to be putting things in boxes next Friday morning.

We have had one more garment knit from the Churchmouse collection of patterns.  This is from the pattern-Mohair Bias Loop knit in two balls of Kidsilk Haze from Rowan.

Ann knit one for the store using one 25 gram ball of Superior from Filatura di Crosa.  70% Cashmere and 30% Silk.  The scarf/shawl feels like a feather.  It is so light and so soft!!

I took the scarf and looped it around twice to make a cowl that will definitely keep your neck warm on a cold day.

I need to run because there are many yarns looking at me wanting to be put into their kit packaging.

What a wonderful loop! How did you manage that it doesn't coil up? Could you send me the instruction?
Kind regards, Teresa

We just followed the Churchmouse pattern. There wasn't anything special done.
